Hi! I recently got the Kroger Mastercard for 5x on purchases with mobile wallet. Now, I know the transactions show as 1x until the statement ends and then the bonus comes in. I need some help understanding the math behind it, since I made purchases for 50 points under the 1x this month (all mobile wallet purchases), and then I received a bonus for 217 points, totaling 267 points. How does that math work? Is the bonus supposed to be 4x on the mobile wallet transactions? Then, that'd be 50 (1x) + 200 (50 x4), for a total of 250. Or does it work in a different way?
I know it's not a big difference at all but I like to understand how it works. Thanks!

Pretty much. I spent $7.78, got 7 points at 1x and then 31 points for the mobile wallet 4x.
I think it’s like this:
For each individual purchase you get 1x for the whole dollar amount (and nothing for fractions of a dollar)
The total bonus at statement closing is 4x the total mobile wallet spend for that statement (assuming you only used mobile wallet).
